Called, Not Qualified: How God Used an Ordinary Woman to Feed Thousands | Lori Birckhead - Season 7 Episode 14
Have you ever felt called to do something meaningful but wondered if you were qualified enough to take the first step?
In this inspiring episode of Holly's Highlights Podcast, Holly sits down with Lori Birckhead, founder of By Faith Farm and co-founder of Fed By Faith, a nonprofit organization dedicated to fighting food insecurity and feeding families in need.
What's remarkable is that Lori had absolutely no farming experience when she felt God calling her to start a farm. What began as a simple step of faith has grown into a powerful ministry that now produces tens of thousands of pounds of fresh food annually and has donated more than 240,000 pounds of produce to individuals and families facing hunger.
Together, Holly and Lori discuss faith, purpose, obedience, overcoming fear, serving others, nonprofit leadership, and how ordinary people can make an extraordinary impact when they say yes to God's calling.
Whether you're searching for your purpose, navigating uncertainty, building a mission-driven business, growing in your faith, or looking for encouragement to make a difference in your community, this conversation will inspire you to take the next step.
In this episode, you'll learn:
• How to discover your purpose and calling
• Why you don't have to feel qualified to get started
• The power of faith over fear
• How serving others changes your perspective on success
• Practical ways to make a difference right where you are
• Lessons in leadership, generosity, and intentional living
This episode is a powerful reminder that the harvest we hope for tomorrow begins with the seeds we plant today.
If you've ever wondered whether one person can truly make a difference, this conversation is for you.
